>yes, if you stop flying and thereby fall into an unsurvivable place, you will die.
In recent versions, you just suffer severe draining (temporary max HP reduction, removed by gaining XP) for every turn you're on an unwalkable tile while not flying (which are only accessible by flying and then stopping flying while above the tile). Which I think is a good further example of the different philosophies - rather than instakill you for what's almost certain to be an oversight from a new player, the game just punishes you so you don't do it again.
